Author: Well, one of the main problems for me to go from joomla! to wordpress were my SEF Urls.
Google (and other search engines) knows or knew all the right (but old Joomla!) urls to my pages and I did not want to lose that.
Of course going from Joomla! to WordPress that would be a problem.

Last weekend I did a Joomla! migration to WordPress. In this small post I will explain step by step what I did to get a good outcome in my WordPress.
If you want to know why I changed from joomla to wordpress just read my other post about this.
First, make good backups of your “old” site !
Before you go from joomla! to WordPress you have to reconsider really doing this.
It took me about 2 days (2x 8 hours) and a big headache.
I only had around 50 articles in Joomla! but it was enough to drive me crazy.
I recently switched from Joomla! over to WordPress. One major step which was preventing me from making the move for so long was the export process.
Then I found a post on azeemkhan.info which had a wizard which would allow you to move the content over. But there was a problem. It did not support UTF-8 sites like Joomla! 1.5 So I decided to take this script and change it to a working script with UTF-8 support.
Well, today is a big day for me. I finally moved this site from Joomla! to WordPress.
Joomla! is a full blown great Content Management System.
It is very strong at many points. It’s professional, has many many plug-ins, is fast, robust and secure.
You probably wonder why.
Well I Will tell you that in this blog.
